By the way, "Anonymous," I disagree with Dave (among other things) that we aren't trying to change each other's minds. I know I was definitely trying to change his.

But this whole exercise seems to have generated more heat than light. I withdraw from the field, confused about Dave's perception of things. However, I know not to confuse him with anybody else there, nor to suggest any cross-over between the feature community and the TV community, nor to even suggest that the union has anything to do with the problem. Oh, and even though he can address us as Tinkerbell or condescending, I better not use adjectives like "smug" or "jaded."

StarToons will keep on pushing for more American TV animation production. If anybody else is interested, they know where to reach us, if need be. I could care less about having the last word. I do appreciate your defense.
